HomeEc Machines TestColor Wear, Shrinkage Of Fabrics
Care to know how long it would take that suit or dress you're wearing to fade in the sunlgiht? By using a Fade-Ometer, the women studying textiles in Fraser Hall can simulate and accelerate sunlight tests on fabrics.
"Exposure for 50 hours in the Fade-Ometer is roughly equal to a season's exposure to sunlight," Miss Ruth Franzen, assistant professor of home economics, said.
Yudell L. Luke, head of the Mathematical Analysis Section of Midwest Research Institute, Kansas City, Mo., will speak to the Mathematics Club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Trophy Room of the Student Union.
"We test for fibre strength and the permanence of color and finish. Temperature, humidity and angle of the rays can be controlled in the Fade-Ometer."
Club To Hear Math Analyst
His topic will be "The Contrivance of Mathematical Thinking." Officers also will be elected for the coming semester at this meeting.
Mr. Luke, who joined the staff of Midwest Research Institute in 1946, is a mathematics lecturer at KU and at the University of Kansas City.
He has written numerous articles in applied mathematics and numerical analysis and is a member of American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Associations of America and of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
Prof Defends Fraternities
NEW YORK — (ACP) — A New York University professor, Richard D. Mallery, recently defended fraternities in a speech before a YMCA. "If the fraternity is what its enemies say it is, then it is hard to understand the encouragement and support that have been given to fraternities during the past century by the better American colleges," he said.
Professor Mallery emphasized that although a limited number of students live and work together in a fraternity, tolerance for differences of opinion, high standards of taste, and good conduct are developed.
He said that a limit should be placed on the number of members in a chapter. "If there are over 30," he warned, "The chapter will be headed for trouble."
When asked if fraternities are the nucleus of bias groups, he said that students in fraternities should be allowed to pick their own friends.
MU, KU Groups Have Joint Meeting
Organizational problems and projects were discussed by YMCA and YWCA cabinet members from Missouri University and KU-Y cabinet members at a joint meeting Saturday in the Student Union.
A chili supper for the two groups was held at Henley House before the Kansas - Missouri basketball game. The Missouri students were invited to a party in the Pine Room of the Student Union for entertainment and refreshments.
ASCE Eo Elect Officers Tonight
The American Society of Civil Engineers will elect officers for 1957-58 at 7:30 p. m. today in the Trophy Room of the Student Union.
Glen Hopkins, regional director of the U. S. Public Health Service. will show a film and speak on the duties of the health service. It will be the final meeting of the semester.
Pharmacy Group To Meet
The student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. will meet at 7 p.m. today in 306A and B of the Student Union. Dr. Joseph Burckhalter, professor of pharmacy, will show slides and comment on his stay in Germany.
The Launder-Ometer, another testing machine, can do 20 washes simultaneously. The type of agitation and water temperature can be controlled.
"The standard abraser, still another machine, measures resistance to abrasion. Fabrics are mounted, then abrasive wheels are rotated on them with the number of rotations recorded. These tests help us compare the wearing qualities of different fabrics.
The wheel-shaped Milky Way is so vast that it takes light, traveling 186,000 miles a second, a hundred thousand years to cross it from rim to rim.
"We can study color fastness, permanence of finish and shrinkage tests using this machine." Miss Franzen said.

Two members of the Romance languages department will attend a meeting in New York City Jan. 12-14 to plan a new college text for beginning Spanish.
Two Profs To Help Plan Spanish Text
Dr. William H. Shoemaker, department chairman, and Miss Agnes Brady, associate professor, are members of the committee of the Modern Languages Assn. of America responsible for planning the text. KU is the only school with more than one person on the committee of 20.
This will be the first textbook produced by the Modern Languages Assn, and will be an attempt to publish a book that will gain wide acceptance as a beginning Spanish text, Dr. Shoemaker said.
Three of the 50 most important tunnels in the world are in Michigan—a railroad tunnel at Port Huron and railway and vehicular tunnels at Detroit.
Meat Loaf Is The Most Popular Dish At The Union
When the monthly allowance pads the student's wallet, usually at the first of the month, food sales rise in the Student Union Cafeteria, according to Mrs. Irene G'Nosa, food production director of the Student Union.
Food is prepared for approximately 600 students each meal, Mrs. D-'Nosa sadi. Menus are planned and all of food is purchased one week before it is served in the cafeteria.
"My main duty as dietitian is to improve the job and employee relations," Mrs. G'Nosa said. "Although certain persons fix different parts of the meal, all of the employees are working toward one goal—the completed meal."
When asked about the most popular dish in the cafeteria, Mrs. G'Nosa
without hesitation replied, "Meat Loaf."
"When we have meat loaf on the counter, very few other dishes sell. There is enough food on the counter from which a student may choose a well-balanced diet. But it is attractiveness and cost that influence the student's selection."
